The Federalist Papers have no effect on anything today. The Federalist papers were written for the purpose of explaining the constitution and giving reasons for states to ratify it. It explained the reasons behind some of the controversial parts. Those papers have no effect on the right to bear arms. They did explain that such issues would best be dealt with by amendments to the constitution in a Bill of Rights. Still, they have no legal standing.
After the Civil War, President Johnson used those papers to explain his pardon of Confederate solders. It was more important to have peace and stop any fighting than to punish the guilty.

What are the Federalist Papers and why are they important to the issue of the second Amendment?
The Federalist Papers are a series of 85 essays published in late 1777 and early 1778 by John Jay, James Madison and Alexander Hamilton, all using the pseudonym Publius, explaining, expounding and seeking to persuade New York to ratify, the Constitution. To my knowledge they have nothing whatsoever to do with the 2nd amendment because that was written by the first congress, after ratification, in 1789.Additional Information:The 2nd amendment has a infamous words "A well regulated Militia" which many of the left wing gun control activist interpret to mean the military or national guard, the federalist papers explain what the found fathers, authors of the 2nd amendment, considered a "Militia" that being "all able bodied men" not a government power or agency. The Concerns layout out in the Federalist papers show that the 2nd amendment was including as the last line of defense against a over powered central government, ensuring the freedom of the people was never taken away.So the federalist papers do play a fairly big role in understanding the 2nd amendment
How do you get papers for regaining rights to bear arms in Florida?
The governor and the cabinet give you the right to regain the right to bear arms. You were told that information when you got out of prison but you did not pay attention. You have to wait until you are off probation or payroll. Then you can apply. Since probation and payroll is where you go to apply for pardons and you want to bear arms which would require a pardon, I would assume that is where you would call. They should have the forms.
